War of the Worlds (or Mickey Mouse in the War of the Worlds, and entitled Topolino e la Guerra dei Mondi, meaning Mickey Mouse and the War of the Worlds, in the original Italian) is a comic story written by Alessandro Sisti, penciled by Maria Luisa Uggetti and inked by Tiberio Colantuoni. It features Mickey Mouse (as Mickey), Goofy (as Mr O'Goofy), Minnie Mouse (as Minnie), Chief O'Hara (as Inspector O'Hara), and the fictional Wellsian Martians, also mentioning Herbert George Wells.
